Louis the Scholarly Carrot

Great class! Gradients have been my mortal enemy since the dawn of my designing career. However, your illustration style is so fun and colorful that I thought I'd give gradients another chance. I'm glad I did!

I decided to stick to nature and for no particular reason chose to illustrate a carrot.

Sketch:

This is Louis the carrot. He enjoys soaking up the morning sunshine while reading the daily news. Louis hopes to be shipped to the big city after he is harvested in order to further his career as a scholar.

Final(?):

I executed my illustration in Adobe Illustrator.

I might play with some more texture and the background, but this is the final for now.
